In the past week I have seen Snow Geese in the Winchester area. Yesterday I
had a flock of about 3000 south of Winchester Springs in a field on the
west side of Hwy 31. It was about 7:15 a.m. The birds may have overnighted
there because I had seen a much larger flock in the exact spot a week
before but they all lifted off by 8:00 a.m. This was not a field where they
could have been feeding.
After leaving this area I had over 2000 in a flooded field
on Cty Rd 38 south of Winchester. From the traffic light on Hwy 31 south of
town, turn west at the BMR store (going east is Cty Rd 43). The flooded
field is 2 km west of the light. I had a Ross's Goose in with the flock.
